On the App Store today

Four apps, four moods, one standard of care.

Lydia Labs is a small independent studio. Each app gets its own world: its own color, its own voice, its own reason to exist. Here they are.

Retro Lens before and after: a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower re-shot as a 1984 print, denim jacket and date stamp Retro Lens before and after: two friends with coffee on a city street, re-shot on 1978 Kodachrome Retro Lens before and after: two friends with coffee turned into a 1997 disposable-camera snapshot Retro Lens before and after: two friends with coffee as a 2005 digital compact photo
3 free transforms to start Then 10, 50 or 100 credits. One credit, one photo.

Retro Lens

Take your photo back in time.

Pick a picture, choose an era, and AI re-shoots it as an authentic photograph from that time: 70s Kodachrome, 80s 35mm with a date stamp, a 90s disposable flash snapshot, a square Polaroid or an early-2000s digital compact. Not a filter laid on top, a full re-creation of the moment, down to the clothes, the street and the film.

  • Faces stay yours. Identities are preserved; only the era changes. Same people, same moment, a different decade.
  • You set the dial. Decide whether clothing and surroundings change, pick color, faded or black & white film, and choose how strong the look gets. Afterwards edit the date stamp, add a print frame or send the same photo to another era.
  • Before and after, side by side. Drag the slider to compare, then save in full resolution or share the photo or a before/after card straight to Instagram and WhatsApp.
  • Credits, not subscriptions. Your first 3 transforms are free. After that, buy a pack of 10, 50 or 100. Credits never expire.

Nothing kept. Your photo is processed only to create the era version and is never stored on our servers. No account, no sign-up.

Money Mate AI

Will your money last the month?

Money Mate AI brings your income, expenses, bills, subscriptions, and credit cards together in one place, and turns all of it into a summary you can actually act on.

  • A daily limit that tells the truth. It subtracts the bills still due, upcoming subscription charges, card payments, and your savings goals, then divides what is left across the days remaining.
  • An assistant that speaks money. Ask questions and get your situation summarized. Only totals and ratios are ever sent; your transactions, merchants, and notes never leave your device.
  • Bills, cards, budgets, and a cash flow calendar. The calendar projects your balance day by day across the weeks ahead, in 13 languages.

No bank login, ever. Money Mate AI does not connect to your bank; you enter the records yourself, and they stay on your device behind Face ID.

Press and hold the button. The photo warms into art while you hold, just like in the app.

  • No account needed. New users start with 3 free credits.
  • Export a before and after video and share the transformation.

MyMindCare Today view

MyMindCare

A calm, private companion.

Check in with yourself in 30 seconds, breathe through the hard moments, and slowly learn what actually helps you. Your records stay on your device.

  • SOS mode, always free. Step by step support during panic, with guided breathing and grounding. Works offline, never behind a paywall.
  • Insights that add up. Mood, stress, and sleep trends in clear charts, with early signals when tension builds.
  • Private by design. Offline first, Face ID lock for your journal, and you can delete everything whenever you want.

A gentle note: MyMindCare does not diagnose or treat, and it does not replace a doctor or therapist.

The studio

Small on purpose.

Lydia Labs designs, builds, and cares for its apps end to end, from the first sketch to the App Store. Being small keeps every decision close: the same hands that draw the interface answer the support mail. That is why each app feels finished, and why there are four instead of forty.
